A piece of copper of mass 21.3 g at 106.0 °C is placed in a vessel of negligible heat capacity but containing 53.0 g of water at 19.3 °C. Calculate the final temperature of the water.

I keep getting 22 celsius and I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I plug it into the equation grams*specific heat capacity*change in t.

If you had typed in what you did I could have found the error by now. I don't know what you did wrong either. How do you know 22 is wrong? What are you using for specific heat Cu.
